Boasting a stylish exterior, impressive performance, and premium comfort. CUPRA Born offers three different battery options. In addition to three trim levels – V1, V2, and V3.
CUPRA’s first all-electric car offers a range of up to 343 miles (WLTP) and a BIK rating of 2%.
Editor of Carbuyer, Richard Ingram said: “To many, a company car is a status symbol. Cool, quick, comfortable, and with a load of specs and batteries to choose from, the CUPRA Born is our favourite small company car for the second year in a row.”
Claiming the title for a third consecutive year, CUPRA Formentor was crowned Best Hot SUV.
It was commended by Carbuyer for striking the ideal balance between performance and usability. The model offers drivers a wide range of powertrains and trim levels.
Commenting on the Formentor’s win, Richard Ingram added: "If you want the firepower of a sports car, plus the usability of a crossover, then the CUPRA Formentor is the best of its type. Negligible trade-off versus a traditional hot hatchback, plus that all-important SUV style.”
Meanwhile, in the Carbuyer Best Used Car Awards 2024, CUPRA Ateca was named Best Used Hot SUV.
The Ateca was the first model launched by CUPRA in 2018 and continues to delight drivers five years later. It was commended for offering an exhilarating driving experience and enticing practicality.
Richard Ingram, Editor of Carbuyer, said: “The CUPRA Formentor won our Best Hot SUV category in our recent New Car Awards, but the brand’s been in the game longer than you might think. The Ateca offers many of the same engines and a similarly engaging driving experience, but in an overall larger and more practical package.”
